The Great Accessibility Blog Roundup

I’ve become an RSS junkie. I’m amazed by the power that blogging and RSS feeds have brought to the accessibility field. I have Google Reader chock full of accessibility blogs and feeds. I have learned so much in the last year or so due to the vast contributions of the accessibility bloggers I have stumbled upon. I’m sure there are many more out there that I have yet to discover.

Here are the best of the accessibility blogs that I’m currently subscribed to (not to mention our own blog). The RSS icons link directly to the RSS feed (RSS 2.0 when multiple options are available). If you’d like to subscribe to all of these feeds in your RSS reader (I recommend Google Reader), you can download an OPML file containing all of these feeds. Your feed reader should import the OPML file and subscribe you en masse.

Fellow ATFer Bruce Lawson’s blog offers a mix of very interesting humor (you’ve been warned), personal experiences, and in-depth accessibility info. Bruce knows his stuff and if you disagree, you may regret it.

If you don’t know of Joe, then you probably don’t really know accessibility. Joe blogs on a wide variety of topics – his favorites range from typography to lambasting the W3C to the accessibility of everything from web sites to train subway-station signage. The RSS feed above is for his accessibility-related posts only.

Patrick H. Lauke is one of the more vocal and active accessibiliters you’ll find. He’s active on about every accessibility project and mailing list there is, yet still finds time to work as web editor for the University of Salford.

WaSP is perhaps the most influential group of standards advocates on the planet. The Accessibility Task Force of WaSP is comprised of the brightest minds in web accessibility. The news feed represents just a small portion of the work that goes on behind the scenes at WaSP.

Web Axe is a podcast and blog featuring practical web design accessibility tips. There are currently 47 podcasts available for download and every one of them provides useful accessibility information. Dennis Lembree’s site provides loads of useful information and interviews with the who’s who of web accessibility.

Natalie Jost’s blog topics include color schemes, her strong Christian faith, photography, and site design. In a field where stuffiness prevails, Natalie’s writings and design work are refreshing and inspiring.

Currently I am working on a project Insomnia, and I am trying to make HTML as an alternative to PDF format. I have bookmarked this page and I shall try to read all of the refered links but kindly help me as well in handling the accessibility issues. Thanks.

I am Director Of Web Development for a new Web Accessibility company called AccessibleNet and I put together a blog that we will be updating frequently.
Anyone can join AccessibleNet and help make the web more accessible to people with disabilities together.

Here is the blog link I hope you find that it is worthy of you posting it.

Great work. It was nice to find all the blogs and information collected in one place. I think you might find this tool (www.Icheckwebsite.com) also useful for checking the accessibility of all your webpages. especially for very large websites.
I am looking forward to your feedback about this tool http://www.icheckwebsite.com/feature. 🙂
